Storage buffer Preservative: 0.02% Sodium Azide Constituents: 1% BSA, PBS, pH 7.4 Purity Immunogen affinity purified Clonality Polyclonal Isotype IgG Applications Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab97500 in the following tested applications. The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application WB Abreviews Notes Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 79 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 79 kDa). Target Function Visual signal transduction is mediated by a G-protein coupled cascade using cGMP as second 1 messenger. This protein can be activated by cyclic GMP which leads to an opening of the cation channel and thereby causing a depolarization of cone photoreceptors. Induced a flickering channel gating, weakened the outward rectification in the presence of extracellular calcium, increased sensitivity for L-cis diltiazem and enhanced the cAMP efficacy of the channel when coexpressed with CNGB3 (By similarity). Essential for the generation of light-evoked electrical responses in the red-, green- and blue sensitive cones. Tissue specificity Prominently expressed in retina. Involvement in disease Defects in CNGA3 are the cause of achromatopsia type 2 (ACHM2) [MIM:216900]; also known as total colorblindness or rod monochromacy (RMCH2). ACHM2 is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by day blindness and photophobia. In ACHM2 patients the cones are defective and the subjects see better at night. Sequence similarities Belongs to the cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel (TC 1.A.1.5) family. CNGA3 subfamily. Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain. Cellular localization Membrane.
